Key West, Florida: A last-minute romantic getaway ended on a quiet stretch of Smathers Beach, where 36-year-old Candace Cooper was found lifeless in shallow water just steps from shore. Her boyfriend, Billy Baker, told authorities the two had gone for a sunset swim and that Candace never came back.

But details at the scene raised immediate questions. Witness accounts conflicted with the timeline. Digital breadcrumbs from the couple’s rented Jeep suggested movements that didn’t quite line up. And as investigators began to reconstruct the final hours of the trip, the image of a simple accident grew increasingly difficult to sustain.

What followed was a slow unraveling of secrets, shifting stories, and evidence that refused to stay buried, turning a trip to paradise into a mystery investigators couldn’t ignore.
